STREB EXTREME ACTION brings its thrilling feats of physicality, grace, strength, and risk back to SLAM this spring!
MARCH 21-APRIL 13
Fridays @ 7:30PM | Saturdays @ 5PM | Sundays @ 3PM
Building on the stunning physicality of the fall performances, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME presents the action-packed MAVERICK SURF, a piece that has seen continued evolution thanks to Elizabeth’s push to take the Action Heroes to new velocities. The result is a more dynamic, more intense performance, as the Action Heroes take on gravity-defying feats with breathtaking precision. The piece now hits even harder, as the performers are challenged to handle the ever-increasing intensity of a 100-foot wave simulation that turns motion and gravity into their greatest adversaries. In addition to MAVERICK SURF, audiences will witness the debut of AIR SPLINTER, a pulse-pounding new work that explores one of STREB’s signature techniques: Falling. In this piece, the Action Heroes leap from a towering truss, their movements cascading in surprising, rhythmic bursts. They leap and land in unpredictable succession. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME also features the return of some of STREB’s favorite Action Events, where bodies and physics collide in exhilarating, high-impact feats — from the split-second ducking and dodging of CHAOS MASS to the precarious balance of MUSIC BOX, the precise geometry of REBAR SOLO, and the relentless momentum of SLAM. Each piece pushes the limits of physicality, precision, and force. And with new Action Heroes joining the performance, each show brings a dynamic, renewed energy to STREB’s daring physical language.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME is presented with visionary support from the A. Woodner Foundation, Rivendell Dressage and Hudson Scenic Studios.
